MKALs Galore!!!

Hello on this Shrimp Linguine Thursday!

I'm up to my ears in Mystery Knit-ALongs!!

The yarn is all wound and awaiting the Casapinka KAL (I believe it's formally named "Sharon Air") that starts in the first half of August:

She calls for #6 needles but I find that #5s work better for me with this yarn and her patterns.  Not sure if stitch markers will be needed, so will choose those once there's more info.

I may have completed the tink-ing for Shawlography; if so, I'm ready to start the brioche section over again.

There is a third and unexpected MKAL with Laura Nelkin.  It will probably be a small shawl or cowl, no idea yet.  The first clue makes a triangle, and the second clue just came out this morning.

I'm also continuing work on I'm Not Who You Think I Am.  I've hit a decrease section, so perhaps I'm in a final stretch of sorts?  No idea, LOL!!

Stay cool, safe, and well!

There is an exquisite beauty in the way tetrodotoxin is made harmless to its hosts, the way a wasp moth vomits over its mate, or the way a mongoose withstands the venom of the cobra. To me, these are things worth exploring, so I do. " In his book, Macinnis endeavors to describe poisonous compounds and their science, relate which historical figures are implicated in the use of these poisons, and document how these poisons are referred to literature. He then attempts to weave all of these aspects together. Macinnis does indeed attempt to cover aspects of science, people, and all the history inbetween, but he does not seem quite able to cover everything in a consistent, coherent way. I think there is just to
